Our take on A YEAR OF SPRINGS
This trilogy departs from a single-protagonist visual novel structure by giving three friends separate stories. Its central conflicts concern relationships, identity, and belonging rather than combat, puzzles, or other conventional game challenges.
What is A YEAR OF SPRINGS?
This collection brings together three visual novels following Haru, Erika, and Manami as they explore romance, friendship, emotional ties, and the wish to belong.
Haru, a young trans woman, visits a hot spring with Manami while feeling anxious about creating problems. Erika, formerly involved in delinquency, arranges a spa outing for Haru but faces unforeseen complications. Sheltered university student Manami spends time with Haru, Erika, and her boyfriend while considering relationships. Every installment offers several possible conclusions.
